    Glock Magazine Lock Plate

    in Glock

    Posted

    I got some Henning mag extensions to use with my G34. When installing the Henning, do I still put that little black plastic lock plate on the bottom of the new spring and into the mag extension or disregard it?

     

    Thx

    I'm looking to buy some +5/6 base pads to add to Glock OEM 17 round mags. Need them to fit the CO gauge. I've looked through the Glock forum for the past year and didn't really see any posts that discuss what will work. Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Same here. I can't say enough great things about Brian (and his staff) and Hunters HD. I own a few pairs now and never work on the range or shoot without them. If you can catch him at a match, he'll even let you wear them a while so you can "try before you buy." You can't go wrong with this deal. Also, if you have an employer-sponsored FSA account, these qualify as a medical purchase. Good luck!

    They actually have a money back guarantee if you get them and don't really like them. Good to know about the FSA.

    I have 60 year-old eyes and was wondering if shooting specific glasses are a real benefit or imagined. I'm not talking about vision correction glasses. I'm talking about glasses to help see outdoor targets better that are in the shade or that offer better contrast so it's easier to zoom in and pick out specific spots on targets. I see some guys wearing yellowish glasses or tinted glasses (those may just be sunglasses). Thanks

    I think I've been using a 15lb because it didn't pass the vertical battery test when I was setting it up a couple years agowith a 13lb.  That was with irons.  Both ISMI.

     

    Now I've got an SRO on it and was curious if a 13lb would work with the extra mass of the optic.

     

    What are you guys running?

    13lb with a Romeo 3 Max. No issues.

    When I very first started...was unclassified still...I spent 3 days with Frank Garcia. He was quite specific re: points. He said 92% of the available points is a good goal for a match. This really helped me....at first. 

     

    Re: Teaching someone to shoot accuracy first and THEN hoping speed will come.....

     

    My profession is teaching people how to shoot. I have to start with accuracy and then, when possible, move on to "speed."

     

    That being said........the biggest obstacle to my personal shooting goals has been to push out of my comfort zone wrt hits:time. So the focus on speed first might have value. 

     

    When I bring former/current LE to matches they struggle the most with the overall "tempo" of our discipline. 

    Sorry for the newbie question, but what does "available points" mean? Assume you have a stage with 14 paper targets and 4 poppers. And does 92% apply to all classes or just those who are M or GM? Thanks

    A novice question about recoil control

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted

    I've read your question but I'm not 100% clear what exactly you are asking. If you are asking what is the "proper" way to deal with recoil, then this is what I've settled on in my journey. And I am far, far from an expert. I will assume you are using the correct stance, posture and hand positions on the gun.

     

    1. No one is stopping recoil, you are managing recoil.

    2. Your firing hand should grip the gun just enough so it doesn't move around in your hand. This way you maximize your ability to run the trigger faster.

    3. Your support hand should basically grip the gun as hard as you can but you don't want to grip so hard that the gun is shaking in your hand. You probably think you are gripping hard, but it's still probably not enough.

    4. Lock both wrists evenly. Uneven locking will lead to the gun recoiling towards the side with less wrist lock.

    5. Your hands and wrists should do all of the work, not your arms, shoulders, pecs, etc.

    Has anyone used the Nevermiss industries alpha hanger?

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    I know this thread is a bit old but I just came across the Nevermiss hanger. I have this holster/hanger set up.

     

    https://www.blackscorpiongear.com/collections/glock-34/products/glock-34-35-pro-competition-holster

     

    It seems the Nevermiss won't work with my holster since it doesn't have a triangle hole pattern to attach the holster to the hanger. Does anyone know of holsters that will work with the Nevermiss (not including a GX holster since the wait is very long) for a G34 with a red dot?

     

    Thanks

    You're a relatively new shooter.  If you're serious about getting better you should do these:

    • Stop jumping from gun to gun.  IIRC you already have a Glock 34.  Send the slide out to get machined for the optic of your choice.  Some places will do it right for as little as $75 without refinishing.  All you need to do is mask the slide with tape and hit the bare steel with rustoleum, or even easier apply some DIY bluing.
    • Spend the difference between the optic cut and a new gun on ammo and training.

     I have a Romeo3 Max on my G34. I can't say I disagree with your thinking. Just getting a little new toy syndrome.

    I’ve put ~70k rnds thru SP01 production gun. Great trigger that got better with Cajun GWs short reset and reach reduction kits. DA ~4 1/4 lb and SA ~2 1/4. Dry fired an IPSC SP01 legal production gun several years ago with ~5 lb DA/1 lb SA - a great

    trigger!  I believe little difference in OR and SP01 triggers with competent gun smithing. There are grip differences. I believe minor but certain others would say significant. My CO gun is an SP01 set up as close as I can to my Production.  My 2 cents is get the SP01 and spend the difference in price on training, and/or ammo/reloading components if you can find them. If you are a legit GM/M then maybe the OR would help you compete against the best. The gun helps but IMO it is the person who makes the most difference in USPSA/IPSC. The shooters in our sport can and do win with a lot of different pistols. 

    I am unclassified, only shot one match and only started shooting in 2019.

    I'm considering one of these guns to use in CO. I've shot the Shadow for a few rounds and never the 75. Don't expect to get to hold or shoot the 75 since no one around here has the gun. I'd get the 75 milled for an optic.

     

    Are the grip ergonomics identical between the 2 guns? Close? I typically wear a SM or Med glove. Can the 75 be tuned to the same extent that most people do to the Shadow? Any reasons not to get the 75? Any insights would be appreciated.
